The initiative is part of a coordinated effort between the USDA, the Department of the Interior, and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to stabilize the national beef supply and address herd losses from drought and escalating costs.The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) under Secretary Brooke Rollins has just announced a new initiative that can best be described as “Unleashing American Cattle Power”.
The agency has put forth a new rancher support plan aimed at boosting the American beef industry by opening more public lands to grazing and cutting regulatory barriers to ranching and beef processing. The initiative, supported by the Trump administration, is part of a coordinated effort between the USDA, the Department of the Interior (DOI), and the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) to stabilize the national beef supply.
Legal Insurrection readers may recall my report on the nation’s herd levels, which were the lowest recorded in over 70 years. The goal of the Trump administration is to build up the animal inventory and help farmers reduce ranching costs.
“America’s food supply chain is a national security priority for the Trump Administration,” Rollins said. “We are committed to ensuring the American people have an affordable source of protein and that America’s ranchers have a strong economic environment where they can continue to operate for generations to come.”
To protect the livestock industry and incentivize expansion, Rollins said USDA would “immediately expedite deregulatory reforms, boost processing capacity, including getting more locally raised beef into schools, and working across the government to fix longstanding common-sense barriers for ranchers like outdated grazing restrictions.”
